“He that plants trees loves others besides himself.”

“... One that would have the fruit must climb the tree... Great hopes make great men... Tis skill, not strength, that governs a ship... All things are difficult before they are easy.... ”

“Be a friend to thyself, and others will be so too.”

“Govern thy life and thy thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one, and read the other.”

“Two things a man should never be angry at: what he can help, and what he cannot help.”

“He that falls into sin is a man; that grieves at it, is a saint; that boasteth of it, is a devil.”

“He that will not sail till all dangers are over must never put to sea.”
